Great video. Don't know how you find this stuff. After the Skids now the Barracudas. You must the only person in the East Village who remembers these bands other than myself. Barracudas song is kind of a copy of the Members song The Sound Of The Suburbs. On YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pc6hbiNVfbw

In the late 70s a lot of UK "pub rock" bands jumped on the New Wave bandwagon. I would categorize the Barracudas and the Members in that genre. Some used to call it Power Pop back in the day. Great songs still though.
